My mom who had dementia was at my home for 3 years. Then when her daily care began to be more involved, I decided to look for a assisted living facility for her. I wanted a caring, loving and attentive place for my mom. I found all these qualities and so much more at La Paula at Main. The staff are amazing and always so helpful, patient and always answered my questions about my mom. I enjoyed visiting my mom inside the facility as well as the outside patio area. I know my mom was well cared for, safe and loved. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of my mom.
It took us a long time to find the right “facility” for mom. Our hope was to find a place that would FOCUS ON THE CARE rather than amenities; a place with genuinely caring staff, where meals would be prepared with love and not assembly-line style. La Paula at Main offers that and more! It is a HOME where staff, residents and families get to know each other and care for one another. We appreciate every effort and gesture of kindness from the administration, nurses and the entire staff. They consistently go out of their way to make Mom happy and fulfill her needs any day at any time.
The staff at La Paula took care of my father for several years. The residence was always clean and fresh, which was important to us. We had many memories here and I am thankful to Lynn and her staff for going the extra for him. They were in contact with me whenever decisions had to be made. Comfortable bedroom and outside area in backyard were great to sit down and talk! Great staff!!
We have been so happy with the care our father has received as a resident of La Paula at Main; they have exceeded all expectations! Caring for those suffering from dementia is no easy task, and the staff is highly skilled and compassionate, going above and beyond to make sure our dad is happy, his needs are met, and that he thrives. They have been easy to communicate with, accommodating both to Dad and us as family members, and put our minds at peace knowing Dad has been well-cared for.
